Looks like it could be a filename issue? I believe the lesson number in the filename is usually a three digit format

 

pk_E_047_r720P.mp4

pk_E_47_r720P.mp4

 

And the website is automatically picking up both sets.

 

It appears to be an issue only with the English version.

Expand  

 

But they are two separate, individual videos. For 720p, one is 120,593,371 bytes; the other 120,531,036 bytes. Why not just rename one of them?

 

Looks like only one version is now showing? The 047 version?

I would love to study Revelation again also.

Hi Bro. John! I got privilege to conduct that book way back 2007-2008 for 2 CBS groups. It needed a life support from Babylon the Great has Fallen and The Finished Mystery book. Perhaps we could start a new thread for it? Glad to hear from you! 

[Dages]

The next book will start in September, right ?

It would seem so, considering the 'review weeks', and the splitting of some of the Lessons into two weeks.

 

Hopefully we will be told soon as I presume congregations will need time to order physical copies for any publishers who want it 🤷‍♂️

It would be interesting if the brothers have decided to release a new publication at the Regional Conventions again. That would encourage in-person attendance!

What was the last printed publication that was released at a regional (or District) convention?  I remember handing out the Kingdom Rules book.

TBH I don't think we need a new book for the Congregation Bible Study... we could just follow the instructions in our current CBS book - Enjoy Life Forever! - in Lesson 60, page 252, and use one of the following two books 🤷‍♂️:

 

Long-Term Goal

Read the books Draw Close to Jehovah and “Come Be My Follower.” These publications will help you to continue making progress and drawing closer to your heavenly Father and his Son.

But wouldn't that then be the 'new release', posted onto the JW website as a downloadable video anyway, and therefore accessible, without needing to go in-person?

 

Or may be just play it at the Convention, but not release it as a download on the JW website until 24 December 2023?!?

 

IMHO an actual physical book is a bit different, yes you may be able to download the electronic version, but you can only get hold of a physical copy by attending in-person 🤔

2022, “Bearing Thorough Witness” About God’s Kingdom (revised):

I would love to study this book again. The material is very appropriate to encourage us to have a fuller share in the ministry and to be prepared for persecution.

Has anybody noticed in the Daniel drama part 2 that something has been edited?  When Daniel goes to the books (roles) and finds the place where it says "I will call to account......" and Daniel says "it has been fulfilled"  now, he does not say it.  There is complete silence in that section.

 

Yes it has, well spotted!! Both versions are currently on the JW website.....

 

2021 Powerful by Faith! Convention: Sunday Afternoon Session—Part 1

 

Daniel's soliloquy (24:50 to 27:00)

 

Have I really been in Babylon over 70 years? Jeremiah’s prophecy! “When 70 years have been fulfilled, I will call to account the king of Babylon and that nation for their error.” Belshazzar’s death — it’s been fulfilled!
What does this mean for God’s people? “When 70 years at Babylon are fulfilled, I will turn my attention to you, and I will make good my promise by bringing you back to this place.” Judah! I must approach Jehovah to confess the sin of my people.

 

https://www.jw.org/en/library/videos/#en/mediaitems/2021Convention/pub-co-r21_11_VIDEO

 

Daniel: A Lifetime of Faith—Part II

 

Daniel's soliloquy (11:05 to 13:10)

 

Have I really been in Babylon over 70 years? Jeremiah’s prophecy! “When 70 years have been fulfilled, I will call to account the king of Babylon and that nation for their error.” [extended silence]
What does this mean for God’s people? “When 70 years at Babylon are fulfilled, I will turn my attention to you, and I will make good my promise by bringing you back to this place.” Judah! I must approach Jehovah to confess the sin of my people.

The line: "Belshazzar’s death — it’s been fulfilled!" has now ALSO been removed from the full 2021 Convention version.

no change in the French version.

 

Yeah, it still has the line: "La mort de Balthazar… Cette prophétie s’est accomplie!"

Daniel's words are uttered in response to reading Jeremiah 25:12 which say: “‘But when 70 years have been fulfilled, I will call to account the king of Babylon and that nation for their error,’ declares Jehovah, ‘and I will make the land of the Chaldeans a desolate wasteland for all time.'"

 

Thus to just say "Belshazzar’s death — it’s been fulfilled!" could be viewed as being technically not corect.... for the scripture to be fulfilled the nation of Babylon also had to be 'called to account'.

 

What is fascinating is why it wasn't picked up before it was broadcast, and why it has been picked up now, 18-months down the line? I've also just checked, and it doesn't seem like it has been removed from French (other languages?), only from the English version 🤔

 

FWIW remember also that it was at the same 2021 Convention, on Friday afternoon, where a small section from one of the talks was also removed following the original broadcast:

Because those words in Jeremiah 25:12 were not fully fulfilled until 537 BCE when the 70 years were fulfilled. Daniel did not quote Jeremiah's words in 539 BCE. What he actually said in 539 BCE is in Daniel 9:2. It does not say the 70 years have been fulfilled. I thought it strange at the time I watched it but did not research it at the time. The Bible, of course, as always, is clear concise and correct.
